Politics / 2009 - 2013
Politics gave me my earliest training in message discipline, persuasion, public affairs, and high-stakes communications.
After beginning in internships that took me from local politics to Capitol Hill, I launched a political consulting practice and worked across municipal, regional, and congressional campaigns.
The work taught me how to build narratives under pressure, understand audiences quickly, respond to fast-changing conditions, and create messaging that moves people to act. Those skills became the foundation for the rest of my career in brand, product marketing, communications, and go-to-market strategy.
